I met Shelby briefly when she was leading a suicide prevention training in Richmond VA, soon after I lost my son to suicide. I meet a lot of people but I remembered her immediately when I saw this video posted.
Shelby Rowe is a suicide attempt survivor, a national leader in suicide prevention and a Chickasaw bead artist. Visit the community of support at HopeInc.com for more inspiring stories.
I am an emotionally naked TEDx speaker, and author of the Book, Diary of a Broken Mind. I raised two boys, Richard and Charles, and lost my youngest son, Charles to substance use disorder and suicide June 5, 2015. I help people foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide, reduce substance misuse and find life after loss. My motivational, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, and grief.
As talented and funny as Charles was, letting other people know they matter was his greatest gift. And now the legacy I try and carry forward in my son's memory.
